“I'm still learning” - Michaelangelo

In Italian: Ancora imparo. A tiny reminder that I’m still learning, always learning.

Every client has a new story to tell. Every person is evolving as a consumer. Technological, cultural and political trends constantly reshape society. And our growth as human beings brings new perspectives which affect our creative process. The only thing that hasn’t changed after all these years is our passion to tell stories.

Over the years, our team has helped a lot of companies tell their story...

Tom Guttman

Tom has a wealth of ad agency experience, known for reinventing the billboard with his legendary 1990 traffic-stopping ET billboard on I-95. His work for Universal Studios can be seen in the OBIE Hall of Fame. His awards include the Clio for Universal Studios and the Gold at the International Advertising Festival for the U.S. Forest Service. His passion for creativity and people is limitless, which is why he will always be the kid in the candy store.

Lon Shapiro

Lon applies the peak performance training techniques he learned as a professional tennis player to the ad biz. He is laser-focused in the now, learning each client's story, the users' needs, and the technical specs of a project. Put it together and he forms a team to deliver great creative that works properly in the real world, all while staying within budget. He wears many hats at work, but his UCLA beanie has a special place in his heart and on the slopes.

Stephan Shapiro

Stephan loves gadgets and problem solving. Hanging out with him is like watching your own personalized episode of Myth Busters, as he will start to scribble away on a napkin to figure out a problem during dinner. He's our goto guy when it comes to programming and troubleshooting anything and everything, as he is adept at HTML5, PHP, CSS, C++, Javascript, MYSQL and various responsive web design platforms, such as Bootstrap and Foundation.

Kevin Shapiro

If anyone has something to say, it's our in-house photographer and filmmaker. Kevin speaks English, French and Spanish, but is always learning new phrases in Mandarian, Italian, Portuguese, and Japanese. In addition, he's adept at reproducing accents and imitating celebrities, leading to projects as a voice over actor. His voice has also extended to screenwriting. This multi-talented artist uses with a wide range of media, including water color, acrylics, pencil, and air brush.
